And in what passes for irony in F1, this came out at the same time insiders “leaked” word of Charles having a broken chassis.
F1.tv -- Palmer's analysis today agrees with the F raised Chuck's tyre pressures in the last stint when they realised he'd get DQ'd for plank wear otherwise. And Max: his strategy is bank $75 million for 2026 and evaluate which team to join for '27... Given the failure of RB to get the '25 car going, I doubt they have the skills to do so in '26 and build their first engine at a front pace as well. He's going to be in agony for the rest of this season at least, but maybe next year get a bigger yacht and win in GT3.
